Summary

Funds may be provided to the Secretary of Agriculture to manage the Recreation Area as part of the National Forest System, and to the Secretary of the Interior to carry out activities there. The Agriculture Secretary can spend the funds the way the Tennessee Valley Authority did before the transfer—like running campgrounds, visitor services, ads, and buying items to resell—but must not use funds for the activity in section 460lll–24(b).
